Amplifier Features

DriveCore Technology: The JBL CS series utilizes DriveCore technology developed by Crown, another Harman brand. DriveCore technology integrates the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage, and fuses everything into a chip the size of a dime. This significantly reduces the size and weight of the amplifier. The CSA180Z is rated at 80 watts x 1 channel (into 4- or 8-ohms) @ 1kHz with less than .5% THD.

Harman GreenEdge: The JBL Commercial amplifier is manufactured under Harman's GreenEdge environmental initiative, utilizing recycled copper, aluminum and steel, an energy-saving powder coat finishing process, and conforming to lead-free RoHS standards and other environmentally-conscious manufacturing processes. The result is an 80% improvement in efficiency over previous models. In addition, the CS series amplifier is EnergyStar certified.

Controls: The JBL CSA180Z commercial series amplifier offers front and rear panel controls.

• Volume Control: A rotary volume knob lets you control the output of the amplifier. The illuminated ring surrounding the volume control will light green with the presence of a signal. If the signal reaches the threshold of clipping or audible distortion, the ring will glow red.
• Bass and Treble: The JBL CS series amplifier offers independent Bass (+/-10dB @ 100kHz) and Treble (+/-10dB @ 10kHz) adjustment. A small flat-blade screwdriver is needed to adjust bass and treble.
• HI-Z Switch: When this rear-panel switch is in the "Off" position, the amplifier is configured to drive low impedance speakers (4-Ohm minimum). With the Hi-Z switch set to "On", the built-in output transformer is activated allowing the unit to drive 70V or 100V speaker systems directly when connected to the appropriate output terminals.
• High Pass Filter: As an added feature when driving high impedance speakers in HI-Z mode, the system automatically switches in a 70Hz high pass filter. The filter prevents potentially damaging subsonic signals from going to the amplifier by eliminating signals below 70Hz.

Unbalanced and Balanced Inputs: The JBL CSA180Z commercial series amplifier is equipped with a stereo RCA unbalanced input which will stereo sources. The amplifier is also equipped with a 3-pin Euro-block connector that can be used as a balanced or unbalanced input.

Note: Do not use both Euro-block and RCA audio input connectors on a single channel at the same time.

Low Impedance or Constant-Voltage System Output: The CSA180Z is designed to power low impedance or constant-voltage speaker systems. There is a 5-pin Euro-block connector for a variety of output configurations. To drive distributed speaker systems designed to operate at 70V or 100V, the 5-pin Euro-block connectors have designated terminals for 70V, 100V and Common. For 8-ohm speakers, the + and - terminals should be used.

Note: The minimum impedance the amplifier channel can drive is 4-ohms. Therefore, you can connect up to four 16-ohm speakers, two 8-ohm speakers or one 4-ohm speaker to an amplifier output channel.

Remote Volume Control: An RJ-45 port is provided on the back panel for plugging in a CSR-V remote volume controller via Ethernet cable.

Rack Mountable: The JBL CSA180Z commercial series amplifier is rack-mountable in a 1U half-rack space, and includes a rack-mount kit. Hardware is also supplied to mount two CSA180Z amplifiers in a 1U rack space.

Note: When using an equipment rack, keep a minimum space of 4" from the top surface of the unit. Close any open spaces in the rack with blank panels. Do not block any air vents. The side walls of the rack should be a minimum of 2" from the amplifier sides. The back of the rack should be open.

Sleep Mode: To save energy, the amplifier is designed to go into sleep mode after approximately 2 hours operating with no signal at any of the inputs. Return of signal (-36dBu) to any input will wake the amplifier from its sleep mode. The sleep mode can be disabled by activating the Sleep Disable switch on the rear panel.

Detachable AC Power Cord: The JBL CSA180Z includes a detachable 34" AC power cord (IEC 3-prong).

Dimensions: Width 8.625", Height 1.75", Depth 14.0625", Weight: 6.9 pounds.

Control 24CT Features

Control Contractor Series In-Ceiling Speaker: The JBL Control 24CT is a compact ceiling speaker providing premium performance in background, foreground, and music, plus paging sound systems. The Control 24CT is perfectly suited for a wide variety of applications from professional offices and airports to restaurants and specialty retail stores. High power handling, wide frequency response and low distortion make the Control 24CT ideal for sound systems requiring a higher fidelity sound from ceiling loudspeakers. The premium performance capability ensures excellent sound character, providing pleasant, enveloping sound throughout the listening area.

Note: All JBL Control Contractor loudspeakers (both ceiling speakers and surface-mount models) are designed with a similar sonic signature, allowing for mixing and matching of the various models within an application, providing a similar tonal character throughout the entire listening area.

Two-Way Coaxial Design: Most compact of the JBL in-ceiling speakers, the Control 24CT contains a coaxially mounted 4" woofer and 0.75" titanium-coated tweeter, providing high-fidelity sound over an extremely wide coverage area.

• 4" Polypropylene Woofer: The 4" woofer features a polypropylene-coated cone and pure butyl rubber surround for long life, even in high humidity environments. An aluminum voice coil former provides extra cooling for greater long-term power handling.
• 0.75" Titanium Tweeter: The coaxially mounted 0.75" titanium coated tweeter provides crisp, clear highs. Diffraction-loading of the tweeter provides wide, even coverage of the listening area. The extremely broad 130° coverage pattern allows for fewer speakers to be used, making for a simpler and less expensive installation.

Computer-Optimized Ported Enclosure: The computer-optimized ported enclosure delivers warm, smooth bass response. Low frequency output can be further augmented with the addition of one of JBL's Control Contractor subwoofer models (sold separately).

70V/100V Compatible: Control 24CT includes a 30W multi-tap transformer for use in either 70.7V or 100V distributed-line systems. Taps are selected with a rotary switch conveniently located on the front panel, but protected under the grille, so that the speaker does not have to be removed to adjust tap settings.

• 70V Taps: 30W, 15W, 7.5W, 3.7W
• 100V Taps: 30W, 15W, 7.5W

Removable Locking Connector: Input connection is conveniently provided on a removable locking connector (included), providing secure connection via screw-down terminals and allowing a system to be pre-wired before installing the speaker for fast snap-on convenience. Separate connector terminals are available for the input and for the loop-through wires, making it easy to jumper the speaker signal to additional speakers. The input terminal plate provides strain relief for either bare wire, plenum cable, or 0.5" conduit. The terminal box is securely enclosed to meet safety codes. You will need to remove a Phillips-head screw to access connector terminals.

• Input Terminals: Terminals 2 (+) and 3 (-) are the input terminals of the loudspeaker.
• Loop-Thru Terminals: Terminals 1 (+) and 4 (-) are the loop-thru terminals to output connection to other speakers.

Mounting Options: Installation of the Control 24CT is quick and easy. The loudspeaker is packaged complete with the back can, grille, support backing bracket, and tile rails. The entire installation can be accomplished without requiring access above the ceiling. A template is provided for marking the cutout. An innovative C-shaped support backing plate can be installed from below through the cutout to reinforce the top of the ceiling material. Tile bridge rails are included which can be screwed onto the C-plate to extend support to the T-channel grid in suspended ceiling installations. After the speaker is fitted through the cutout, it is held securely in place via three mounting tabs which tighten onto the C-plate, if used, or directly onto the ceiling material.
